I was five and he was six 

We rode on horses made of sticks 

He wore black and i wore white 

He would always win the fight 

Bang, bang 

He shot me down 

Bang, bang 

I hit the ground 

Bang, bang 

That awful sound, bang bang, my baby shot me down. 

Seasons came and changed the time, when i grew up i called him mine 

He would always laugh and say remember when 

We used to play bang bang i shot you down bang 

Bang you hit the ground bang bang that awful sound 

Bang bang i used to shoot you down 

Music played and people sang 

Just for me the church bells rang 

Now he's gone i don't know why 

And to this day sometimes i cry 

He didn't even say goodbye he didn't take the time to lie 

Bang, bang 

He shot me down, bang bang 

I hit the ground 

Bang, bang that awful sound, bang bang 

My baby shot me down
